Supplies -
Coffee filters (I used the economy pack of 1000 I think)
A bottle of blue dye
Clear tape
Fishing line
1. Divide your coffee filters up into 3 sections. The first section will be the darkest, the second a little lighter and the third will be the lightest.
2. Taking care to cover everything you don't want to be blue, dip your filters into the darkest color of dye and then remove to dry. I strung my filters on a fishing line and then once I dipped them, I hung them over the sink to drip dry. Use this same method for the next two colors, just lightening your dye as you go.
*PSA* - Wear Gloves
3. I found it easier to string the filters on the backdrop while they were still damp. They laid down a little easier.
4. Hang up however many lines of fishing line you want for your backdrop. Starting at the top, grab the filter in the center so that it makes a little bell when you hold it.
5. Using clear tape, attach the bell shape to the fishing line so that it hangs in a little puff. Repeat this step over and over and over again, starting and taping the next filter in line half way below the one above.
6. I worked from side to side so that when I moved to the light blue, I had an even line all the way across
7. Continue taping until your curtain is complete
